Palin hits back at 'malicious' photo Posted: 10:22 AM ET
From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
(CNN) A week after a high-profile uproar with comedian David Letterman over the late-night host's joke about her daughter, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is again sharply responding to the appearance of her children in the public sphere.
Palin's latest response comes after liberal Alaskan Blogger Linda Kellen Biegel doctored a photograph of the former Republican gPresidential candidate with her 1-year-old son Trig, who suffers from Down Syndrome.
Biegel, who blogs in support of the Alaska Democratic Party under the name "Celtic Diva," superimposed a picture of conservative Alaskan radio host Eddie Burke over Trig's face in an apparent effort to show how close the radio host is with the Alaskan governor.
"Recently we learned of a malicious desecration of a photo of the Governor and baby Trig that has become an iconic representation of a mother's love for a special needs child," Palin spokeswoman Meghan Stapelton said in a statement provided to CNN. "The mere idea of someone doctoring the photo of a special needs baby is appalling."
Stapelton also suggested President Obama should speak out against such behavior from liberal activists.
"Babies and children are off limits," She said. "It is past time to restore decency in politics and real tolerance for all Americans. The Obama Administration sets the moral compass for its party. We ask that special needs children be loved, respected and accepted and that this type of degeneracy be condemned."

On balance, it was only one FReeper who took issue at your characterization of the dhimmi. I read several that were supportive or in agreement with your POV.
You are right - it was an interesting exchange...
Hmmmmm, interesting thought but I don't think these political hacks are that smart. Even if they were, they might want to be careful. They slammed Reagan as a dunce and couldn't wait to run against him. Didn't work out too well for those folks.
Bad case of PDS........
Putting this monkey on Obama’s back is brilliant. It really points out how simply mean Obama is. Going after Obama’s kids, wrong. Going after Palin’s kids, right. It makes clear how empty Obama’s rhetoric is.
“Celtic Diva”
That’s that pagan worship-mother-earth garbage. The Stonehenge wackos who bow down at the sun and the moon. It’s a rejection of the “patriarchal” traditional religions in favor of a stone-age cult (druidism) that practiced human sacrifice. (yes, it did)
Reading the postings here gives me renewed hope that some real change may come about - normal people are learning not to be sheep.
Going to check out the male-hater’s website.
Just saw the witch’s site. This is one angry, mixed up chick!
a perfect radio face.
I don’t think they really are doing it purposely. But they aren’t too smart, as you say, because the more they do this the more sympathy it creates for Palin, IMO. If she runs in ‘12 she can use the hate and incivility of the left as an issue.
From a political point of view, if the Far Left has to resort to these tactics to throw Sarah Palin off her game this is living proof that the daily onslaught of invective or venom directed towards Sarah over the last 6 months by the Obama war room of Axelrod and Emmanuel has barely dented Sarah’s composure and faith-based psychological foundation, and in fact the Far Left is now desperate in finding ways to take Sarah out of the 2012 Presidential sweepstakes.
And finally it is living proof that the Far Left clearly feels and thinks that Sarah Palin will run for the Presidency in 2012.
CLF,
Steve is a troll. He’s been here for quite a while though. He’s a NYC librarian!
My favorite W. C. Fields’ movie by the way. Where’s the Ipecac?
Doc
yeah, I thought about that after I made the comment! Good point.
Downs babies and adults are the most precious of Gods children..That is what made me so angry..Making fun of these little angels will get her a one way ticket to hell..She is an evil bitch...
Damm, she got fat since that other picture was taken.
The on-strike.
Remember how the Nazis characterized the Jews?
They were lead by a person who said he would make them proud of their nation again; who would use big government programs to help them; he gave them someone to blame and had a spiffy logo as well.
We are seeing history repeat itself.
Trust me, you really don't want to see it. She just about makes Helen Thomas look attractive.
